AT&T Says Femtocells Will Launch This Year

According to statements made by AT&T's executive director for radio access network delivery, Gordon Mansfield, the company is preparing to femotcells that will be available to consumers within a few weeks. Mansfield said, "we will expand [the current trials] into a marketing trial of the AT&T-branded 3G Microcell, which will be open to customers through our AT&T stores…in a handful of cities. We're on track for a full national launch by the end of 2009." Femtocells are small base stations that look similar to Wi-Fi routers and provide enhanced cellular network coverage in places such as homes or offices.

I have been fighting with AT&T for 4 months about the coverage at my residence. I'm a AT&T fan-boy, but if I don't have coverage...duh. Well I haven't found someone to help me out with the termination fee or someone who can get me in with talking to the tower install team. I have been asking about femtocells and they have no idea what I'm referring to.
